Well, I have a 1.6 diesel and I think it's the bee's knees! Plenty of torque from low down (1500 revs or so) and good top end grunt. 3rd/4th gear full throttle is an absolute blast. On paper, it doesn't look particularly quick, but I have never really wanted for more power. MPG is not as good as quoted. We've done 5000 miles and MPG settles somewhere around 51mpg with relatively hard driving.

Hope that helps and if you have any other questions, just ask!

Hi

Thanks for that aph, its nice to hear some re assuring reviews. Is it a noisy engine though?

I see you have the titanium as well (in a very nice colour).

I like the look of the zetec s but prefer the titanium spec so i was swaying on the titanium (with x pack and dress pack, money permitting)

Am i just wasting my money or does that sound a good choice? Especially for resale value?
